Traveling abroad is not because Chinese people don't have money, but because domestic travel is too expensive. Do you agree?

Firstly, I'm a strong believer in the statement 'Domestic travel is too expensive'

I most vividly remember 2015 when a friend (solo traveler, female) flew directly from Beijing to Jiuzhaigou. The travel agency registration fee (9000 yuan), don't ask me to prove it, was signed and paid for while I was present.

Why was it so expensive at the time?

1. 'Golden Week' holiday (October)

2. Beijing-Jiuzhaigou direct flight

3. Single traveler (supplementary room cost)

During the Golden Week period, if she had chosen destinations like Thailand, Vietnam, or Cambodia, 9000 yuan would have been sufficient. And the accommodation quality would have been even better.

So why do overseas trips sometimes end up being cheaper?

One, airline prices

Firstly, many popular domestic flights are quite expensive unless they are on sale. Prices are even higher during peak season, so in terms of transportation, overseas flights are sometimes cheaper than domestic flights!

Two, accommodation costs

In China, a very common problem is that the prices in various tourist attractions are very highA box of instant noodles will cost 20 yuan, let alone a normal meal!And then there's

hotel expenseswhich are really not cheap per day. However, overseas, the prices in many countries are relatively low, even in popular tourist areas, the prices will not be higher than in some areas of China. The daily costs required for playing in China and overseas are very different.Three, entrance fees

Many domestic attractions charge entrance fees, and the fees are not low, a single person is normal to pay eighty or ninety yuan. If three or four people go together, the entrance fee for a single attraction is several hundred yuan.

Overseas, many attractions are free to use, they don't make money from tourists. Domestic attractions are not only entrance fees are expensive, consumption is also very high, no matter what inside is several times more expensive than outside.
